Bathtubs issue/ repaint? bath fitters?
Hi BP,
I recently purchased my first investment property and quote excited! The renovation is going well as far as I can tell. My present dilemma is the bathtub. It is has yellow stains which I thought would be an easy fix with strong detergents. Overall, the fiberglass tub is in fairly good condition but the stains. My question - Are there durable ways to fix the tub ( perhaps paint) or do I need to replace the tub. From my research there are bath fitters and painting over the tub options. I am not sure how effective this methods tend to be. I am afraid replacing the tub will cost me more than I am ready to spend on this one item. I would appreciate advise from investors/ flippers.
Also, I am in the Birmingham area. Any leads to professionals that can help with this job will be greatly appreciated. PS - I do not mind taking on this project myself as a DIY if its not that involving. How have people handled bathtub renos?
Thanks,
Katherine
